Considering the expenditures thus made
in providing public institutions for a new
and erowiDR commonwealth, the burdens OF
taxation imposed by the state have never
been excessive. It's government has, as a
rule, been economically administered. The
salaries of it's officers have been moderate.
It's indebtedness is very small. The per-
centegs of taxation annually levied for state
purposes, rarely large, has been steadily de-
creasing during the past fourteen years,
until, for the present fiscal year, 1t Is less
than one-halt that levied in 1872.

If you have all, or any consider
able number of these symptoms,
you are suffering from that most
common of American maladies-
Bilious Dyspepsia, or Torpid Liv-
er, associated with Dyspepsia, or
Indigestion. The more complica-
ted your disease has become, the
greater the number and diversity
of symptoms. No matter what
stage it has reached, DIR. PIERcE's

subdue it, if taken according to
directions for reasonable length
of time. If not cured, complica-
tions multiply and Consumption

AUTHORITY TO FoRe1yE SINS.

The American Revisors have recommended
the substitution of " authority" for ''power"
in the text as more exactly expressing the
sense of the original. 1t is power that is au-
thorized or exercised as authority. JESUS
''power" to forgive sins, was his Divine Com
mission to be the Saviour of the world. His
poloer was the authority which the Father
had given him for Divine administration on
the earth, and SO, the proof, which he gave
that he had authority to forgive sins, was re-
ally evidence of his Messiahship, and his au-
thority to administer the long expected King
dom of GOD.
The mission of JESUS was to save the world
from sin. Sin is transgression of the Divine
law, by which the soul is lost to the Divine
favor. Divine forgiveness is the removal or
sending away of sins, and restores the soul
to the enjoyment of COPS favor and bless
ing. The original words employed in the
New Testament to express the act of forgive
ness, denote release from bondage of sin
the removal of sin itself, and the bestowal of
blessing or favor. Our "trespasses" are for
given, when they are sent Gtoay and removed
from Us, that is, when we no longer trespasS
or transgreSs, and when they are removed
as barriers to the Divine blessing. The pu-
rifcation of the heart and life, and fellow
ship of the Holy Spirit, the Spirit of GoD,
are involved in the Scriptural idea of for
giveness. GoD freely forgives all sin on the
necessary condition of repentance and re-
formation. He is ever exercising his forgiv-
ing spirit toward His sinful children. He
requires only holiness and obedience, and
when these are rendered, His fatherly dispo
sition and faithfulness insures the bestowal
of every needed blessing and promised re-
ward of righteousness. 1t is the mission of
JESUS to reveal the Fathers kindness and
love to His children in the earth, and to de-
clare His forgiving spirit toward all trans
gressors, and His forgiveness of those who
repent and live righteously. The mission OF
JESUS is. also, tolead men TO repentance and

POWER TO FORGIVE SINS.

CONNECTION.

The first verse of our Lesson belongs in
Chapter vii. The division of the Bible into
chapters was made in the eleventh or twelfth
century, for convenience in reading. In few
instances the connection of the narrative Is
marred by the division. The harmonists are
generally agreed that the incident narrated
in the Lesson occurred in JEsCs' earliest Gal
iean ministry, before his retirement to the
mountain, where the Sermon on the Mount
was spoken, having returned to his home IN
Capernaum MARK H. u, after he went about
inlall Galilee, teaching in their synagogues,
and preaching the good news of the King
dom, and healing all manner of disease, and
all manner of sicknesses among the people
". 23). Matthew appears to have grouped
together, with little regard to the chronology
ical order of events, a number of JESUS mar
vellous works, with some associated Incl
dents, thatEoccurred in the vicinity of Caper-
naum. His Gospel is not so much chrono-
logical narrative, as an historical argument
in which JESUS is set forth as the Messiah
of Hebrew prophecy.

Passed to the higher life, from the family
residence, at Oaney Greek, Scott county, No.,
September IL, 1887 Mrs. Anna W. Smith,
aged So years, months and % days. Funer-
al services at the residence conducted by Rev.
Andrew Miller and interment at the ceme-
terry on the 18th. Mrs. Smith was born near
Phoenix, Oswego county, N. Y, May Is,
1884 She was married to Capt. Ward L.
Smith, Jan. %, 1860, and some twenty years
ago moved to this county, residing nearly
eighteen years in Sylvania township. She
was reared in the faith of the Universalist
church, and united with the church of her
choice in Fulton, N. Y. For years Sister
Smith was the first and only ayowed Uni
versalist in the county. She was full of the
spirit of helpfulness. Her kind and genial
disposition endeared her to large circle of
friends, those loving her most who knew her
best. She was particularly friend of chill
dren and the Sabbath school, holding Sab
bath-school services at her residence and per
forming the duties of pastor, superintendent
and teacher of the same. In the language of
a good sister of the Methodist church: If
there ever was a Christian woman, Anna W.
Smith was one. She forgot self in her deyo-
ton to others. Her greatest desire was to
make others happy" She died as she had
lived, a firm believer in a worlds redemp
ton from sin, that He who "worketh every
thing after the counsel of his own will shall
wipe away all tears from their eyes, and
there shall be no more death, neither sorrow
nor crying, neither shall there be any more
pain, for the former things are passed away.
And there shall be one fold and one Shep-
herd" The Universalist society at Morley,
adopted a series of resolutions in her mem

In Wyocena, Wis, Sept. s, 1887, Mr.. Dan
lei Spencer Bushnell, in the eighty-hfth year
of his age. He was born at Waitsfeld, VT,
April 8, 1903, where he remained until past
his majority, when he came to Jefferson
county, N. Y, and settled near Sprague's
Corners, now Spragueville, in the town of
Antwerp. Here he purchased land and COM
menced making home in the then northern
wilderness, clearing summers and teaching
school winters. He married Ann Rogers,
Jan. l, 1929. To them were born four chill
dren, two sons and two daughters; the eldest
son died at the age of eighteen months, the
other now resides at Santa Cruz, California.
Mr.. Bushnell came west in 1917, to view for
himself the vast resources of this then new
country, returning in the fall so we'll pleased
with what he had seen, that he sold his farm
and the next spring, loading his family into
wagon, drove to East Troy, Wis, where he
remained until the following October, when
he NOV ed on to the farm where he has since
lived and died. Brought up New England
orthodox, he early embraced the liberal faith
of the Uniyersalist church, and died firm in
his adopted belief. HIS funeral was held at
his late home, Rev, M. G. Todd officiating.
The easket stood at the foot of a spreading
oak, whose cooling shade he had sought
every pleasant day the past summer. All mis-
children were present at the funeral.
